We are a women-owned and -operated med spa that offers services in La Mesa, CA, and we look forward to meeting you during your first consultation. 

What Is PRP Therapy? 

PRP therapy, short for platelet-rich plasma therapy, is a medical technique that uses the regenerative potential of your own blood. During this process, a sample of your blood is drawn and then centrifuged to concentrate the platelets and separate the plasma. The two are combined, and this concentrated platelet-rich plasma is reintroduced to targeted areas of your body, aiming to stimulate cellular repair and rejuvenation.

What Can PRP Therapy Offer You? 

• Stimulation of Hair Growth: PRP therapy can be an ally in the fight against hair loss. By injecting your scalp with platelet-rich plasma, we can encourage hair follicles to enter a growth phase and produce thicker, healthier hair.
• Improved Post-Treatment Healing: This therapy is often used alongside other aesthetic treatments to enhance healing. The growth factors in PRP therapy aid in reducing recovery time and improving overall results.
• Skin Rejuvenation: In skincare, PRP therapy works to revitalize your skin by promoting collagen production and tissue repair. This can result in improved skin texture and tone, contributing to a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Why PRP Therapy? 

It Uses Autologous Substances

Autologous substances are those obtained from the same individual, which in the case of PRP injections, means using the patient's own blood. This approach lowers the risk of allergic reactions and incompatibilities, offering a more comfortable treatment experience with fewer side effects.

It Comes With Minimal Downtime

One of the appealing aspects of PRP therapy is the minimal downtime involved. Patients can often resume their daily activities on the day of the treatment. If you need skin or hair rejuvenation options that don't require you to take time away from work or your daily routine, this could be the right treatment for you.

It Can Be Used With Other Treatments

The compatibility of platelet-rich plasma with other aesthetic treatments allows for a broader approach to skincare and rejuvenation. PRP therapy can be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that is specifically designed to help you with the concerns you have for your skin. We have many different treatment options that we can combine with PRP, and we would love to share them with you during your consultation. 

It Is Suitable for Many Different Patients and Concerns

PRP therapy is not limited to a specific demographic or set of concerns. It's versatile enough to be used for a wide array of patients and aesthetic issues. From addressing signs of aging to improving facial volume, PRP therapy can be a helpful addition to your skincare routine.

Our Treatment Options

PRP Injections for Facial Rejuvenation

PRP injections can be used as a type of biostimulating filler to prompt improved volume, texture, and tone of the skin. During a PRP facial, we will inject the substance into areas that need a little help, such as under the eyes, in the cheeks, or along the jawline. Over the next few weeks, your body responds to the injections and produces more collagen in the area. This can improve the elasticity of the area and make it more youthful and vibrant overall. PRP injections can be repeated as needed to retain your results.

PRP Hair Restoration

For those struggling with hair loss, PRP treatments can offer a treatment that doesn't require any daily pills or creams or invasive techniques. The PRP hair treatment involves injecting the scalp with platelet-rich plasma, which gets to work promoting hair growth and improving hair density. This treatment can be used by itself to address male and female pattern hair loss or other conditions, or it can be used alongside traditional therapies to increase their effects. 

PRP With Microneedling

Combining PRP facial treatments with microneedling, particularly using the SkinPen®, enhances the efficacy of both. The microneedling treatment creates microchannels that stimulate skin repair, while the topical application of PRP further boosts healing and rejuvenation.

PRP With RF Microneedling

Our clinic also offers PRP with microneedling, incorporating the use of PiXel8-RF technology. This combination of radiofrequency (RF) microneedling with topical PRP not only accelerates skin healing but also enhances the tightening and smoothing of the skin, giving you better results than either can achieve on their own.

PRP Frequently Asked Questions

How Soon Will I See Results?

The timeline for seeing results from PRP therapy can vary. Generally, patients may begin to notice improvements within a few weeks, with more significant changes developing over several months. The gradual nature of PRP therapy results from the natural process of tissue repair and regeneration.

Do PRP Injections Hurt?

The discomfort level during PRP treatment can vary depending on the type of treatment but is usually minimal. Most patients report a sensation similar to a mild pinch or pressure at the injection site. We take every precaution to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

How Long Will My Results Last?

The longevity of results from PRP treatments can differ from patient to patient. Factors like lifestyle, skin type, and the area treated play a role. While some effects are long-lasting, maintenance sessions may be recommended to prolong and enhance the benefits.
